About

Hi there, I am a software engineer and founder of a start up call Highlightly, I am still in the early phases of launching the tool which I am hoping is going to transform the reading experience for neurodivergent people. When I was at university I faced challenges getting through all of my readings and identifying the key points of information and I realised that there had to be a better way. I have built a tool that takes input of the text that you would like to read and it then picks out the key information from that text and highlights it for you.

Highlightly 1.0 - Redefining reading making knowledge more accessible to all

I'm dyslexic and I started to build Highlightly at university after I found that screen readers alone weren't enough. Lecturers would expect me to skim read texts but as someone with dyslexia this was very hard. So Highlightly does this for me and finds the key information from any text.
